Assani,

By FH's Portuguese player definition, Melo is still not a guard, which is what you called him, which is what started this whole thing. He'd be a wingman.

Unless I'm wrong in assuming that their guard is our point guard. If that's the case they have redundant names and it's pointless.

edit: OK it seems you've addressed this and get the point.

agreed. Basically you can break down players in two ways:

Guards and bigs...you do this a lot when you're doing shooting drills.

PG, wings, and bigs...you do this when you're explaining plays to each position.

I guess a third way would be PG, SG, SF, PF, and C but I've never heard or seen it done that way except by tv announcers and casual fans.
